In a tougher economy, employers want more from candidates. Potential employees must show they can perform and be “manageable” (what we call “coachable”) while demonstrating they’re a good fit for the company culture.

Yes, it’s more for a candidate to manage. And yes, it’s important in order to get hired, today.

Here is a summary of the #InternPro discussion from Monday evening, which we called “The Importance of Being “Able”… Likeable, Coachable and Hireable”. The conversation doesn’t have to end here; use the comments section to let us know your thoughts.

Next Monday, January 21, we’ll be taking on another fascinating topic: “Our Obsession with Social Media: Changing the Workplace”. Join us at 9pm ET for conversation, networking… and probably some talk focused on bacon. See you on Twitter!
